Cetaphil Hydrating Eye Gel-Cream with Hyaluronic Acid, 0.5 fl oz — Brightens, Smooths & 24H Lightweight Hydration

Cetaphil Hydrating Eye Gel-Cream is a lightweight gel-cream formulated with hyaluronic acid, licorice extract, and a vitamin complex to hydrate, brighten, and smooth the under-eye area for up to 24 hours.

This eye-specific moisturizer blends the quick-absorbing feel of a gel with the lasting nourishment of a cream to support the fragile skin around the eyes. The formula focuses on delivering moisture, evening tone, and improving texture with ingredients chosen for gentle performance. It is dermatologist-tested for sensitive skin and ophthalmologist-tested for use around eyes, including by contact lens wearers. The compact 0.5 fl oz tube is travel-friendly and designed for daily morning and evening use as part of a skincare routine.

How does this product hydrate without feeling heavy?

The gel-cream hybrid sinks in fast like a gel but leaves behind the richer moisturization you expect from a cream, avoiding residue or a greasy finish. Hyaluronic acid draws and holds water at the surface layers of skin to maintain a plumped, comfortable feel throughout the day and night.

• Contains hyaluronic acid for immediate moisture retention
• Gel-cream texture that absorbs quickly without tackiness
• Provides up to 24-hour hydration in standard usage

Will this help brighten and smooth the under-eye area?

The formula includes licorice extract and a vitamin complex (vitamins E and B3) which work to even skin tone and improve surface texture over time. While not a corrective treatment for deep lines, the combined ingredients help the under-eye area appear more rested and refined with consistent application.

• Licorice extract helps reduce the appearance of uneven pigmentation
• Vitamin B3 (niacinamide) supports skin barrier function and tone
• Vitamin E provides antioxidant support to maintain skin health

Is this safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers?

The product is formulated to be non-irritating and hypoallergenic and has been ophthalmologist-tested for use around the eyes, including for people who wear contact lenses. Cetaphil’s gentle approach limits known irritants while keeping the formula effective for hydration and appearance benefits.

• Ophthalmologist-tested for sensitive eyes and contact lens compatibility
• Hypoallergenic and designed to minimize irritation
• Suits all skin types, including sensitive skin

How should I incorporate this into my daily skincare routine?

Apply a small amount to the orbital bone area morning and night after cleansing and before heavier creams or sunscreen. A pea-sized amount per eye is usually enough; gently pat the product in with your ring finger to avoid tugging delicate skin.

• Use morning and evening after cleansing and serums
• Pat gently; avoid rubbing or pulling the delicate eye area
• Follow with sunscreen in the morning for daytime protection

Who is this for: Cetaphil Hydrating Eye Gel-Cream is intended for people seeking a gentle, daily eye moisturizer that delivers long-lasting hydration and helps improve under-eye tone without heavy or irritating ingredients. It’s appropriate for all skin types, including sensitive skin and those who wear contact lenses, and is useful for anyone wanting a lightweight product to smooth and brighten the under-eye area as part of a regular skincare regimen.
